Promotions are limited to designated areas (if enabled). No gambling, adult services, credit cards/insurance/medical ads, or deceptive recruiting. Campus jobs/events must be legitimate and clearly labeled. See Guidelines for details.

6. Moderation, Reporting, and Appeals

We use a combination of automated tools and human review. We may remove content, limit features, or suspend/terminate accounts (warning → temporary suspension → permanent ban, depending on severity).

7. Takedowns: Privacy, Defamation, NCII

If content violates your privacy/publicity rights, is defamatory, or includes NCII, report it in-app or email jxlove2004@gmail.com. Provide URLs, a description, and any proof. We will act where appropriate, which can include removal and account restrictions. CSAM indicators are immediately escalated to NCMEC/law enforcement.

8. DMCA Copyright Policy

DMCA Agent: Eunseong Choi/Leader
Email:  jxlove2004@gmail.com

If you believe your copyright is infringed, send a DMCA notice with the elements of 17 U.S.C. §512. We may forward your notice to the user and accept counter-notices. Repeat infringers may be terminated.

We use Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) to show ads and Firebase Analytics/Crashlytics to improve performance.

  • Opt-out (US state laws). California: Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information (cross-context ads) in Settings → Privacy. Other states with similar laws: Opt-Out of Targeted Ads. If you opt out or decline ATT, we serve non-personalized ads.
    See our Privacy Policy for details.

The Service may link to or integrate third-party sites or SDKs. We are not responsible for their content, terms, or privacy practices. Your use of third-party services is at your own risk.

11. Service Changes & Availability

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature to protect users, comply with law, or improve performance. We will provide notice where required (in-app or by email).

12. Termination

  • By you. You may delete your account at My Page → Delete Account.

  • By us. We may suspend or terminate your access for violations, risk to users, or non-use. Certain sections survive termination (e.g., licenses as needed for backups/defense, disclaimers, limitations, DMCA, dispute provisions).

13. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND NON-INTERRUPTION).

15. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from third-party claims arising from your User Content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of the law.

16. Governing Law & Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, excluding conflict-of-laws principles. You and Chatit agree to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in San Francisco County, California.
(Prefer individual arbitration & class-action waiver instead? Tell us and we’ll switch this section to an AAA arbitration clause with a 30-day opt-out.)

We may provide notices via in-app messages or to the email associated with your account. You consent to receive electronic communications.

18. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the Service or law. We’ll post the Effective Date and, for material changes, provide notice in-app or by email. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

19. Miscellaneous

These Terms (with the Privacy Policy and Community Guidelines) are the entire agreement between you and us. If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent.

Google Play Child Safety Standard Policy Summary

 

Google Play's Child Safety Standard Policy mandates that apps categorized as Social or Dating must adhere to strict guidelines against Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE) to maintain platform safety. Compliance is required for all developers in these categories, regardless of whether their app is aimed at adults or has age restrictions. Key requirements include publishing clear standards on CSAE, providing an in-app reporting mechanism for user feedback, actively working to eliminate Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), complying with all relevant child safety laws, and designating a specific Child Safety Point of Contact. Developers must submit a mandatory Declaration Form starting in December 2024, with a final deadline for full policy compliance by March 19, 2025. Failure to comply by this date may result in the app's removal from Google Play.
